Location: Globe District, Pinal Co. Arizona (printed upper left). Inc. Oct. 1877. Dateline San Francisco, Oct. 8th, 1879. No. 671, issued for 1,000 shares company secretary C.E. Gillett. Also signed by the president, A. Chabol. Not cancelled. Four assessment stamps on reverse that bleed through to front of stock. Pinholes, folds. 3.75 x 8.75" Printed by GH Floto, SF. The 1870s were a busy time for the Globe Mining District. Silver nuggets were being found in Richmond Basin on the SW slope of the Apache Mountains not far from the General Lee Mine. Hinton (1878) does not show the General Lee on his map of the district, but mentions that McMillan & Co. discovered a rich vein of silver chloride near the General Lee, suggesting it was close to McMillan's Camp 20 miles east of Globe City on the east side of the Apaches. He further reported they produced $1,300 of silver per ton of ore from a 6-foot wide vein. [Ref: Holabird Garbani Catalog research, pg. 72] Date: 1879 Location: Gila County, Arizona HWAC# 66029
